Trucks for Kids Fundraiser Returns to Charlottetown Sept. 26
Posted on 08/25/2026
The City is once again teaming up with BGC Charlottetown to host the third annual Trucks for Kids fundraiser, a family-friendly event that gives children and families the chance to get up close to an exciting lineup of large vehicles including fire trucks, police cruisers, tractors and more.
The event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Charlottetown Event Grounds, 360 Grafton St. The afternoon will also include family-friendly activities, such as music, games, and a BBQ.
Admission is by voluntary donation, with a suggested amount of $5 per person. All proceeds will support programs for local youth through BGC Charlottetown.
“Now in its third year, Trucks for Kids continues to bring families together in support of local youth,” said Mayor Philip Brown. “From fire trucks and police cruisers to music and games, it offers a fun day out for residents of all ages.”
Last year’s event attracted more than 1,500 attendees and featured more than 30 vehicles. Organizers are planning for an even bigger and better event this year.
“We’re proud to support Trucks for Kids and the important work BGC Charlottetown does in our community,” said Councillor Mitchell Tweel, Chair of the City’s Public Works Committee. “This event gives residents a chance to connect with our public works and emergency service teams and see the vehicles and equipment they use every day.
BGC Charlottetown, formerly the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottetown, is a local non-profit organization that provides safe, supportive spaces where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.
